Online Game Rentals - Part 2

...As I mentioned in my other article about online game rentals, it's a great idea, but not without it's flaws. The first flaw being a slow turn around time. The second biggest flaw I've found is not quite as prevalent, but one that is certainly worth resolving. At least one would think so.

All the cables needed are also included as well as a wireless controller which in the end if you decide to buy a Core system will cost about $100 just for the Hard Drive.
